This morning I had planned out a post by the
well-known writer “Whiny McWhinerson”, regarding the scale.
Specifically, the complete lack of movement of said scale for the past 3
days. This morning I found myself experiencing a certain
amount of anxiety & frustration in spite of my self-talk that 3
days is NOT a plateau and there is no reason to second guess my
behaviors, etc.
But you know, here’s the thing: I got a great
haircut Friday. I love it! Last night I went to the Y and swam laps
for 30 minutes before water aerobics. Today at work someone asked me if
I was losing weight. I feel good – good energy,
good workouts, and of course the all-important good hair! Lol! I feel
like I am making improvement.
Shouldn’t those things count more than the
scale? I am tracking my food, making good choices, working out hard,
getting good sleep. I feel good about the things I am doing. I don’t
feel good about my weight. But I guess all I can do
is stay the course and ride this bit out, right?
Ugh! I guess I am still a bit frustrated by the scale, but at the same time, very happy with the other things.

It can be challenging to 'trust the process', when the scale doesn't cooperate. Keep the faith; you will be rewarded!
